PALCLAD Pro SF Anti-Static Overview PALCLAD Pro SF has a built-in mechanism that prevents static electricity buildup. By reducing the electric charge generation on the sheet s surfaces, PALCLAD Pro SF avoids particle attraction and electrostatic discharge (ESD) towards the human body and equipment. Preserving all benefits of standard PALCLAD Pro, it offers greater efficiency in achieving static-free areas for industry and healthcare, including anti-static wall lining, door skins, machine covers and more. The anti-static feature of PALCLAD Pro SF is active throughout the sheet and will not be affected by fabrication and scratches. Main Benefits 99Prevents buildup of anti-static charge 99Anti-static feature is not affected by fabrication or scratches 99Retains all features of standard PALCLAD Pro Typical Applications Clean rooms and sterile manufacturing areas Storage rooms Semiconductors industry Project: IT server room Installation: PALCLAD Pro SF White with joiner system 6

PALCLAD Pro HYG Hygienic Action Active Antimicrobial Protection Palram s HYG technology sets a higher standard for hygienic lining and facilitates high levels of sanitation. Breakthrough HYG products incorporate silver ions, a natural antimicrobial agent with proven biocidal behaviour that highly inhibits microbe reproduction. With silver ions, HYG products bring active microbe elimination to a whole range of applications, taking hygienic care one step further. PALCLAD Pro HYG have either killed or inhibited the growth of all the pathogens tested to date. This includes microorganisms that can affect the appearance of the panel. Since silver ions are uniformly distributed throughout the panel, a scratched or damaged surface will be equally effective. HYG Active Antimicrobial P r o t e c ti o n Main Benefits 33Active protection from various microbes 33Biocidal capabilities proven by independent tests 33Long lasting antimicrobial effect 33Formable: HYG properties are maintained throughout the product s lifetime. How Does HYG Technology Work? Silver ions are incorporated into the PVC compound before the extrusion process, and improve the inherent antimicrobial quality of the rigid PVC panel. They enable the panel to kill a wide variety of microbes on contact, including those resistant to antibiotics. Antimicrobial additive Rinse Fluid Wall Wall Wall AG+ Wall HYG Panel HYG Panel HYG Panel HYG Panel 1 2 3 4 PALCLAD Pro HYG is installed as wall lining. Microbes approach the wall. Upon contact, active silver ions are transferred onto the microbes, cease their mitosis and ultimately eliminate them. Dead microbes are removed by simple cleaning routine. 8

1 2 Grooving and Bending for PALCLAD Pro Corner Installation 1 Installation Guidelines 2 The following guidelines relate to the corresponding illustrations below. Illustration Guidelines 1 Measure the distance from the panel edge to the corner. Place the panel on a working surface and secure it. 2 Draw the bending line on the back side of the PALCLAD Pro panel. or 3 It is advised to prepare a groove on the back side, prior to bending, along the marked line. The depth should not exceed half the thickness of the panel. 4 For internal corners, place the groove over a straight table corner and use an industrial hot blower to soften the groove. The panel temperature must not exceed 70 C. Once softened, bend down to the desired angle. 5 For external corner place the grove over a straight table corner and use a hot industrial fan to soften the groove. Once softened, bend up to the desired angle. 2 1 3 Illustrations or or 3 2 4 1 3 1 2 3 or 3 5 2 4 4 3 5 4 5 or 4 5 17 5
Cladding Installation Guidelines Using PALCLAD Pro Profiles Palram Cladding Profiles H Profile J Profile Inside Corner External Preparation Store panels on a flat surface and away from direct sunlight. Panels should be acclimated to room temperature for 24-36 hours prior to installation. Walls should be reasonably level and flat. Remove high spots and fill dents. All surfaces must be clean and dry. If necessary, cut the panels and profiles to suitable dimensions for the intended surface. Installation Guidelines The following guidelines refer to the corresponding illustrations in the next page. Illustration Guidelines 1 Apply the glue on the wall according to the instructions of the glue manufacturer. When using Palram glue, please note that its color should turn from white to clear, usually within 20-30 minutes. 2 Position and attach a trimmed H base or a profile to the wall. 3 Attach the first PALCLAD Pro panel to the wall and profile. 4 Apply pressure to the entire Panel to ensure good adhesion and removal of trapped air. 5 Position the H section base and leave at least a 2 mm gap for expansion (See illustration 6). Repeat steps 2 + 3 + 4. 6 Internal and external corners should include prepared grooves. See Grooving and Bending for Corner Installation on page 17. 7 When all panels are in place, peel off the edges of the protective film approximately 2cm from edge. 8 Attach the profile caps onto the bases using a rubber mallet. 9 Peel off the protective films after all other jobs on site are finished. 18

Lining Installation Guidelines Using PALCLAD Pro Welding Rods Preparation Store panels on a flat surface and away from direct sunlight. Panels should be acclimate to room temperature for 24-36 hours prior to installation. Walls should be reasonably level and flat. Remove high spots and fill dents. All surfaces must be clean and dry. If necessary, cut the panels to suitable dimensions for the intended surface. Use appropriated tools for welding. For tool recommendations please contact your Palram distributor. Installation Guidelines The following guidelines relate to corresponding illustrations in the next page. Illustration Guidelines >>> 1 Apply the glue either on the wall or the back of the panel according to the instructions of the glue manufacturer. 2 Attach the first panel to the wall. It is recommended to place a bonding tape (double sided adhesive strip) between the wall and panels. This small overlap 3 between both panels will prevent the glue from penetrating the 2 mm gap used for welding. 4 Attach the rest of the panels and ensure a 2 mm gap between them. 5 Apply pressure to the surface of the Panel in order to ensure good adhesion and removal of any trapped air. 6 After all of the panels are in place and prior to welding, peel off the edges of the protective film approx. 2cm from edge. 7 Weld the panels using Palram welding rod at a temperature of 140 C. 8 Trim the welding rod using a suitable trimming knife. For tool recommendations please contact your Palram distributor. 9 Peel off the protective films after all other jobs on site are finished. 20
